On This Day
Villa have five booked, a penalty award against them and are beaten by Everton at Goodison as all remnants of finesse and flair seem to have been drained from the team under Graham Turner 🏴.
Graham Turner's 🏴 Villa return to League action and 🟥 lose for the third time in four games to make it 🟩 four wins in 🕒 ten League games, whilst 🟥 losing five.
Centre forward Peter Withe 🏴 makes his 🕒 200th appearance in a Villa shirt.
What they Said
“People will regard me as finished as an international player, but if I keep my form and fitness I could still be recalled for the odd game.
Peter Withe, after 6 goals and five assists in 12 games so far this season is called up to the England squad aged 33.
